Description
My name is Chris.
I grew up in Germany and spent the last 15 years living in Switzerland.
During this time I have worked in various professions, i.e. research, education, acting and event management.
Staying in pretty much the same spot for my whole life has provided me with many wonderful opportunities to learn and grow, but has also made me hungry to see more of the world. I had another amazing opportunity last year to work for three months in an ecological center in Australia, which is why I'm mostly looking for projects related to biology and wilflife conservation.
I'm a very social person, although I may be a little quiet and reserved in the beginning. Given some time I will warm up to people and share my stories. I'm also very eager to improve my language skills so ideally I could find a host with whom I could practice my Spanish, French or Japanese
I'm a creative and artsy guy. If you like poetry, play an instrument or want me to teach you some improv games, we will get along for sure.Interests

Both in a classroom setting and as a private tutor I can transfer knowledge in an engaging way and understand how to create a non-competitive learning environment for my students.
Actor (4 years)
Specialized in both classical and improvised theater I can perform in front of an audience. Although I'm an introverted person in privat, I am very expressive and outgoing on stage. I can also teach acting skills.

I know how to plan and organize events carefully. I have a friendly way of communicating with customers and am able to moderate events.

I had a variety of smaller part-time jobs. Most notably I have served in cafés, worked as a dog-walker and had a position as janitor's assistant in a local museum. I know how to take care of facilities, do small repairs and serve customers.Age

My only "regret" was not staying longer, because three weeks was just too short.
Everybody was really nice and I learned a lot about religion and Christianity. People were really happy to talk about it, but nobody ever forced the topic onto me, which made it a really easy and… read more
